Show Notes:
Where to begin, where to end with this one?

The brevity of these notes is the basic result of only 7 hours sleep in the last 96 (with an eagerly anticpated 4 hours at the conclusion of this typing).

I will have more time to digest and pontificate after tomorrow, as the post-show drive north is a mere 100 miles.

Back on topic...hanging out from about 1:00 PM on yielded filming permissions from Mr. Riff Robinson himself, so 4 vidcams captured the proceedings (along with 4 audio decks).

Put in an 11 hour day if you count post-show chatting.

One hell of an amazing show.

A nipple-shaving "Share The Ride".

The bit of clavinet during "Change Of Mind" is plucky-as-all-fuck

The almighty "Bewildered".

"Fat Man In The Bathtub" replacing "Bye Bye Blackbird" on the setlist.

"Laila Pt. 2"...yet again, an epic showcase of virtuosity...

My ears would put it right up there with, if not better than, Sacramento, but I've not been able to listen at home yet.

Tomorrow: Portland, then Seattle.

Dennis is an effing saint. THANK him for his quick turnaround so your brain can play gloryhole with the aural candy.

Still fucking off on this end...prolly ain't gonna change anytime soon.

Puberty has been the BEST 30 years of my life.

More to come, as always....
